What is the meaning of travel? It is to traverse thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, to see the scenery around the world that one cannot see otherwise.
If he wanted, Bi Xiao could easily find a beautiful place at any time and use teleportation magic, truly traveling thousands of miles in a single step.
However, Bi Xiao was not in a hurry. He preferred to drive around, observe various people and things, and enjoy the unexpected encounters along the way.
Even if he encountered some people who disgusted him, to him, it was still a pleasant surprise.
To joyfully break away from his slightly tiresome and dull daily life, the housekeeper efficiently arranged for the purchase of a camper van on the same day.
The UNICAT off-road RV is the epitome of toughness among RVs, with a super high ground clearance and a specially tuned chassis.
With a 6x6 chassis modification, the length of the living area is 5.6 meters. The body is made from fiberglass composite sandwich panels, and the floor consists of composite materials connected to a MAN chassis via an integrated steel frame and a three-point mounting system.
This vehicle has a total length of 8.16 meters, with six wheels at wheelbases of 4 meters and 1.4 meters respectively, and an engine that produces a maximum of 532 horsepower.
Additionally, the interior is equipped with a power grid, refrigerator, sofa, folding table and chairs, separate bathroom, shower system, heating system, sink, military first aid kit, solar panels, and a military communication system connected to a satellite. It also includes a 380-liter fresh water tank.
It boasts luxury and extravagance, with a price tag of $500,000, making it a top-tier RV of this era.
Of course, Bi Xiao did not modify this vehicle; otherwise, he could have seamlessly converted the power system from physical science to magic.
Driving alone, his first destination was Bear Mountain, Bear Mountain State Park, just an hour's drive from New York City. The best time to visit is in the fall, with an endless stretch of crimson and gold leaves, a breathtaking sight.
However, just after leaving New York, a troublesome individual appeared.
On the highway a few kilometers outside of New York, the scenery on both sides was still quite pleasant. As Bi Xiao leisurely drove his car, he noticed a group of figures almost monopolizing the road about a kilometer ahead.
There were still quite a few vehicles on the road, but when they encountered this group, all the cars stopped, and the drivers began cursing at the people blocking the road.
"Get out of the way, you damn bitches, clear the road, you stinking hillbillies."
"Are you doing cosplay? You bunch of idiots."
"Move aside now, or I'll shoot you."
The group of people ahead were dressed in coarse clothes, like the medieval hemp outfits, with eyes completely black as if scorched, exuding a gloomy aura. Despite the continuous curses, they remained unmoved. Just as the angry drivers were about to draw their guns, Bi Xiao stopped his car a few dozen meters away, opened the door, and stepped out.
He raised his hand lightly, and with a "click" sound, the world before him did not change, but it was no longer the real world.
Those still in the real world, driving on the highway, seemed to continue their journey as if nothing had happened.
"John Shaw."
The leading man, who looked to be around thirty years old and about 1.8 meters tall, with eyes that stared intensely at Bi Xiao from a few dozen meters away, spoke.
"Kaecilius."
Bi Xiao calmly uttered the name, glanced at the dozen or so similarly dressed sorcerers beside him, and shook his head slightly: "Should I admire your ability? In such a short time, you've lured so many Sorcerers to join Dormammu."
"My Master is beyond your imagination, Shaw. Your mentor considered you the most outstanding Sorcerer in history. I think you should know how vast and boundless this world is; our vision should not be limited to what is before us."
Kaecilius looked at the young and handsome Asian man in front of him with the same calmness.
But a trace of malice and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
"I am not interested in your invitation. You should not disturb my road trip. Now, leave immediately, or else."
As he finished speaking, bright golden ripples suddenly appeared behind Bi Xiao, forming golden vortexes like mirrors. Thousands of terrifying weapons slowly emerged from them. As these weapons floated out one by one, the intense sense of danger increased layer by layer.
Under the illumination of thousands of golden vortexes, Bi Xiao stood like a deity.
He looked mercilessly at the group of weak sorcerers before him.
The sorcerers behind Kaecilius froze, cold sweat constantly breaking out on their foreheads, their gloomy expressions turning into dazed looks as they stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
Kaecilius remained expressionless, seemingly unfazed by the sight before him.
In reality, he was somewhat baffled. In his memory, Bi Xiao was someone like him, obsessed with the vast ocean of magical knowledge, greedily seeking all magic knowledge. However, his mentor, the Ancient One, favored Bi Xiao more, allowing him access to forbidden dark magic that Kaecilius could not read.
He knew Bi Xiao was outstanding; the Ancient One had praised him many times.
But Kaecilius never thought he was weaker than this Asian kid, especially after he inadvertently "saw" the truth and knew of an even more powerful deity in another dimension (the Dark Dimension) than the Ancient One.
He decisively betrayed Kamar-Taj and embraced the darkness, drawing power from it, becoming stronger and more terrifying than before.
Kaecilius approached Bi Xiao for Dormammu's mission, with some personal reasons mixed in.
If he succeeded in bringing the Ancient One's most outstanding disciple into the darkness, it would deal a greater blow to the Ancient One. This was his revenge. If he failed, he would mercilessly kill Bi Xiao, also avenging himself and proving to the Ancient One that he was the most outstanding disciple.
He had considered all possibilities, except for the current situation.
What is this?
What kind of magic is that Asian kid using?
